Boy wonder: Seven-year-old earns £17m reviewing toys on YouTube

A seven-year-old toy reviewer who made £17.3 million in a year has been revealed as YouTube's highest-earning star.

Ryan, from Ryan ToysReview, made the hefty sum for his online reviews between June 2017 and June 2018, topping Forbes' YouTube rich list.

His videos have a total of nearly 26 billion views over three years, with the most popular video on his channel seen 1.6 billion times, and the less-watched videos attracting at least 30 million views each.

All but around £1 million of the income comes from adverts shown before videos, with the rest from sponsorship deals. Last year, he was No. 8 on Forbes' list, Business Insider reports.

Like PewDiePie and the video game industry, Ryan has influenced the toy industry as his reviews - which get millions of views - can affect toy sales.
